GeForce GTX 1650 vs Radeon R9 M270X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M270X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 725 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a speed of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 1650 should be 82% quicker than the Radeon R9 M270X in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		131072 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M270X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 59072 (82%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be much (more or less 187%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 M270X. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		83160 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X		29000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 54160 (187%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1650 should be quite a bit (about 310%) better at AA than the Radeon R9 M270X, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1650		47520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M270X		11600 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 35920 (310%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
